		<description>You make a good point there Carolyn, about which links to use.

One of the reasons I read so many other blogs, is so that I know who / what to link to.  It&#039;s also a great source of ideas of course.

Thanks for the comment.</description>

		<description>I find that adding links is like adding resources or citations for readers to find more information on the subject. I view the blog as a jumping off point, either for discussion or for further research.  If a blog is static, with no links, it&#039;s a dead end for readers and offers no incentive to really come back.

Just my thoughts, but I just recently started blogging.</description>

		<description>Finally understand the concept of linking and why it is a good idea.  As a result I am going to add some links to my blog.
Previously I compared linking to having advertising on my blog.  I always felt it was just a way to steer traffic away.
Links are clearly different from ads.
Thanks for the post, it&#039;s a valuable one.</description>

		<description>Thank you and Ida for this interesting article. Links have always bothered me ....

Either due to

spam or 
not understanding the mehodology of using links 
or which links to select? 

Warm Wishes for a good Sunday
